No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

You could invent your own. It wouldn’t stop someone who was really determined to trick you, because the tradeoff between convenience and perfect security would likely leave you vulnerable to reverse engineering. But that being said, you can take your message, reverse it, Caesar cypher it, replace letters with numbers, drop vowels or spaces, etc etc until you’ve mangled it into a “hash” that only you know how to produce.
Easier to have a cryptic rule, such as "third sentence in every entry must have exactly three words, and the last word in the entry must rhyme with the very first word." That would validate the entry with far less work, and people would need massive sample sizes to have any chance at finding the pattern.
Oooh this is good
It doesn't prevent any changes to the content, but that's what pen is for.
I remember in college one of my teachers told the class if we were going to be late with our submissions that were do by midnight to submit a corrupted document before midnight. Then when you finished your document to change your bios/system clock to before that time, paste it into a fresh document and save it with the same name. That way when he told you the document was corrupted it wouldn't be obvious the document was created after the due date.
Can't remember if I ever ended up having to do that. (You can do it using the touch command in terminal I believe, instead of having to change your clock.). I just remember thinking it was comical that the professor told us to do it.
